  • wishlist

    A public catalogue of Lua plugins Neovim users would like to see exist (by nvim-lua)

  • mini.nvim

    Library of 35+ independent Lua modules improving overall Neovim (version 0.7 and higher) experience with minimal effort

    This is a primary example of being different. It doesn't provide all "correct" indent guides as 'indent-blankline.nvim', only a current actually present scope. Probably, will stay that way. They both work ok together though (see this issue). And yes, both delay and animation can be turned off.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • vim-textobj-user

    Vim plugin: Create your own text objects

  • sly

    Sylvester the Cat's Common Lisp IDE (by joaotavora)

    A proper Neovim client for Slime or Sly. The closest is Vlime, but its UI is really janky.

  • vlime

    A Common Lisp dev environment for Vim (and Neovim)

  • Elixir

    Elixir is a dynamic, functional language for building scalable and maintainable applications

    An interactive shell for Elixir or Erlang. Both languages allow the developer to run the program interactively in a "shell". Developers can then modify the code of the application while it is running and "hot-patch" it at runtime. The shell runs in OS shell, so there is not much integration that can be done with the editor.

  • gh.nvim

    A fully featured GitHub integration for performing code reviews in Neovim.

    Something like gh.nvim?

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • octo.nvim

    Edit and review GitHub issues and pull requests from the comfort of your favorite editor

    Another alternative is octo.nvim

  • Configs

    My dotfiles for my XMonad, Kitty, Neovim setup and all the other good stuff (by Oliver-Leete)

    Here is how an evolved setup might look like.

  • textobj-word-column.vim

    Adds text-objects for word-based columns in Vim. (by coderifous)

  • vim-textobj-pastedtext

    A convenient text object for last pasted text

    I don't see this behavior. It uses [ and ] marks (not < and >), which is what 'saaguero/vim-textobj-pastedtext' essentially is using.

  • vim-slime

    A vim plugin to give you some slime. (Emacs)

    It's vimscript not lua, but have you checked out vim-slime ?

  • vim-visualrepeat

    Repeat command extended to visual mode.

    If you're into hidden gems: * This fixes repeat behaviour for all visual modes, like proper . in visual block. * This this provides a proper paste-over operator, working with all register types (text?,line,block).

  • vim-ReplaceWithRegister

    Replace text with the contents of a register.

  • smartyank.nvim

    I just started using smartyank.nvim which only overwrites the system clipboard if you yank, not on deletes or overwrites. Not exactly what your asking for I think but along the same lines. Works in tmux and over ssh too, so it’s nifty.

  • vim-gitgutter

    A Vim plugin which shows git diff markers in the sign column and stages/previews/undoes hunks and partial hunks.

    vim-gitgutter supports staging/undoing hunks and a hunk text object. I find it convenient for this exact workflow.
